Absolutely spot on. | |

HMRC have just sent Marcus a very large cheque indeed. He's rolling in it! | |

Sort of, aside from most commercial businesses can offset that risk with profits. Football clubs, of course, do not generally make any profits, meaning the risk is greater still. | |

But like he says, that is militated by being "sensibly run". My business doesnt make "profits" but you can be damn sure im going on 3 holidays this year. | |

For those who don't like Marcus Evans on 13:44 - May 8 with 2729 views | Slambo | I think what I find most depressing about this tweet, and Andy's previous ones, is how few people seem to be rallying behind him. All you ever hear our sarcy, snidey comments like 'what's he moaning about, he did well out of us', or some other attempt to find hypocrisy in his words... He's bang on. We need to start listening to him, and others that preach the same message (thinking David Conn at the Guardian), mobilising, organising, and fighting institutions that have been specifically designed to make a small cartel obscenely wealthy, while the massive majority are left to rot... The Premier League - the source of ALL the current financial woes in English football - is probably glad Bolton are on the brink of going under: maybe their fans will all support the flagship of the PL brand Man Utd instead. Every other club outside the Premier League is simply a nuisance. If we don't unite soon, it'll destroy us all... | |

Yep. Not a thing to invest in. Football clubs are either a rich person's plaything or a millstone around someone's neck. | |

For those who don't like Marcus Evans on 16:19 - May 8 with 2374 views | ActionMan | But equally much of the failings of the last 10 years have been Marcus's doing. I am not about to sit here feeling sorry for him, he turned a club that had been more or less in the top 25-30 teams in England for the better part of half a century with gates of 25k into a club outside of the top 40 teams in a under decade with gates lower than we had for 20 years. I am not saying he has to spend 300million on us, but i'd like some better leadership, an actual strategy and a little more than "its okay the club still exists" because if thats all we're aspiring to, what is the point? It's not like he rocked up yesterday is it? The fans will stick with it so long as we're promoted next season but if we stay in the third tier for as long as Sheffield United did I can't see many sticking behind him now, he's had one too many chances and not delivered on one thing he's set out to do. That's not the supporters fault either. | | | |

We need a man of action in charge. Any ideas? | |

Them are the rules.....as much as I dislike them too...... The Accrington owner is spot on. Football died with the Prem League. I fear for my beloved cricket. | |

I'd get the turnstiles repainted and increase match day ticket prices as my first action. | | | |

Some of your points have some merit but the attendance one does not. Do you recall the previous occasion we spent a period of time in the Championship during the 90's? During parts of that period our average attendance fell to around 12k. Being in the Championship for prolonged periods whittles away your support regardless. In fact compared to the 90's our support has held up well. | | | |
